Ingredients

Where to find ingredients
You can find pork loin and fresh onions at local butcher shops or traditional markets. Concentrated passion fruit juice is available in the beverage aisles of supermarkets; as a substitute, you may use fresh passion fruit pulp, though you may need to adjust the sugar content accordingly.
Preparation method
- In a jug, mix the filtered water, concentrated passion fruit juice, and granulated sugar. Set this mixture aside.
- Prepare the pork loin: remove excess fat and let it soak in filtered water for 10 minutes.
- Drain the water from the pork. Make small holes in the meat with the tip of a knife and season only with salt.
- In a pot, heat the butter and sauté the sliced onion until golden and slightly crispy at the edges.
- Add the pork to the pot and, little by little, drizzle with the passion fruit mixture, adding the liquid gradually until the pork is cooked.
- Continue cooking until the passion fruit sauce reduces and thickens, forming a rich glaze.
- Serve the sliced pork drizzled with the thick sauce, accompanied by farofa and white rice.
